[PLUG] flash drives for linux question

[logical american]

Hello all:

I am trying to find a good flash drive (8 to 32 gig size) that is 
formattable to ext2 (from the usual ntfs)

By past experience I have also found that copying small files onto the 
vob seems very slow.

Has anyone had good experience with a vob that lives up to its reputed 
USB 2.0 speed and can be (re)formatted to the linux world?

Walking into your usual supermarket type electronics store only seems to 
net sales hype, usually far removed from reality.
